Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber, sliced into thin sheets (use a vegetable peeler or mandoline)

1 can (5 oz) tuna packed in water, thoroughly drained and flaked

2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and finely chopped

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Optional: 1/4 cup finely diced red onion or celery for an added crunch

Fresh arugula or spinach leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tuna Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flaked tuna, chopped hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped dill, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. If desired, incorporate the finely diced red onion or celery for additional texture. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined and creamy.

    Slice the Cucumber: With a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin sheets, approximately 1/8 inch thick. The thinner the slices, the more flexible they will be for wrapping.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take one cucumber sheet and place about 1-2 tablespoons of the tuna and egg mixture at one end. Layer a few arugula or spinach leaves on top for a burst of freshness and crunch.

        Wrap It Up: Starting from the edge containing the tuna mixture, gently roll the cucumber sheet around the filling, creating a tight wrap. Secure the wrap gently to ensure the filling stays intact. Continue this process with the remaining cucumber sheets and filling.

          Serve: Arrange the cucumber wraps neatly on a serving platter. For an extra touch, drizzle a little olive oil or add an additional squeeze of lemon juice over the top before serving. Enjoy your healthy wraps immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to an hour for a refreshing cold snack.
